Four days ’til Christmas! I’m definitely getting very excited about the festive celebrations now! For me, Christmas time means family time. We eat way too much delicious food, spend quality time hanging out and create many lasting memories. There’s nothing more important in my … Continue reading →

Bonjour from Paris! I’m currently writing this post from an apartment in the 8th arrondissement. It’s been such an amazing few days here with most of my family! You may have seen some updates from my time in Paris on @emmalaurenfood and/or Emma Lauren Food Blog.

The beauty of staying in an apartment is that we are able to enjoy cooking with fresh seasonal produce whilst also devouring the local delicacies (sans wheat and cows milk of course)!

Fresh produce

I’m absolutely loving all the fresh fruits on offer – the markets really showcase the best that’s in season!

Wandering through the markets

What I love most about travelling is wandering the streets and stumbling upon hidden gems only most locals visit.

Local market produce

From the market haul, we enjoyed this simple platter. I’m loving the variety of goats cheese that’s available and these strawberries are just mouthwatering!

On a side note – I have some exciting news to tell you, Lorna Jane has posted another original recipe of mine on her Move Nourish Believe website. It’s considered one of the top five favourite no added sugar recipes. Feel free to check it out here.

As it was quite busy leading up to my trip with travelling interstate I unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to post this apple cinnamon recipe until now!

Dry ingredients

The combination of almond meal and quinoa flour allow these muffins to be quite light yet moist.

Adding almond milk

Almond milk or any other dairy free milk is a great wet ingredient as it adds extra flavour to the muffins instead of just using water.

Adding to the batter

I’ve used eggs in this recipe to help the bind the batter. If you’d prefer a vegan muffin, just use a flax egg – you may need to adjust the cooking time to suit.

Perfect match = apple + cinnamon + walnut

To me, there is something very comforting about the combination of apple and cinnamon. I think it’s the earthiness of the cinnamon with the sweet apple…

Spooned into prepared tins

As I prefer larger muffins, this mixture made 8 however if you’d like smaller muffins the mixture may make up to 12.

Golden on top

After taking them out of the oven, I noticed straight away how crunchy they were on top! Definitely the way I like to enjoy my muffins.

Ideal breakfast

These muffins will keep in the fridge for up to three days in a sealed container. They can be kept in the freezer for up to two weeks in a sealed container.
